Now this is a story of a romantic in Hollywood doing it right…
Blake Shelton has been going nonstop professionally these last few months. He was co-host at this year’s Academy of Country Music Awards, he’s recording a new album, and is a judge on the new NBC hit ‘The Voice.”
Yet with all that, he is still planning a wedding, and he has a wife-to-be to take care of…something that has seemed to fall to the wayside recently.
In an interview with The Boot, Blake says:
“I’m telling you right now, my life is really not fun…and what sucks about it is, I do have a wedding coming up here in just a matter of weeks. Between ‘The Voice,’ and what was a big time-consuming thing: hosting the ACM Awards. Now it’s just like everything you can think of piled up at once.”
It even got to the point that Miranda expressed her concern:
“One day Miranda finally said to me, ‘Where am I? When’s time for me?’ And it was like, ‘God, she’s right!,'”
And it was as simple as that…Blake came up with the solution.
“I was even on a call today with my manager, and he said, ‘Man, ‘The Voice’ people called and they need you for …’ I [interrupted and] said, ‘No! They can fire me. I don’t care! I’ve got to do what’s right and spend some time with Miranda,'” he explains. “And so we’re spending almost the entire month of May just hanging out together. I mean no friends, no family, just she and I just hanging out for the good part of the month. That will be good enough for us that she’ll go back to wanting to kill me again and wishing that I would go back to work. [laughs]”
Now that is doing it right. That is love, and it’s got to make you smile.
The lovebirds are set to wed May 14 in Texas.
